Chicago Bears
Matt Forte (Running Back): Forte has proven himself as one of the most reliable fantasy backs in the league. He had another successful week as he ended the contest with 18 carries for 71 yards and caught 5 out of 7 targets for 38 yards and a touchdown. With the injury to Charles, Forte may be the best fantasy running back out there besides AP of course.
Marquess Wilson (Wide Receiver): Wilson was the default number 1 wide receiver this week as Alshon Jeffery and Eddie Royal were declared out. Wilson made use of his time as the number one racking up 85 yards and caught 6 of 8 targets from the field. Wilson also found his way into the end zone for a touchdown; if Alshon and Royal cannot go in week 6 then Wilson will be a top tier waiver option.
Kansas City Chiefs
Jamaal Charles/Charcandrick West/Knile Davis (Running Back): Charles was having a pretty decent day; he had 12 carries for 58 yards and 1 reception for 26 however Charles suffered a serious injury and was carted off the field. Charles's injury was diagnosed as a torn right ACL and he will miss the remainder of the season. Now the Chiefs will have to find a new leader of this rushing attack. West was the primary replacement rushing 7 times for 31 yards while Davis only had 2 carries for 2 yards.
Jeremy Maclin/De'Anthony Thomas (Wide Receiver): Maclin has been cruising the past few games putting up some significant fantasy points. Maclin has been consistent and that is important when setting your line up, consistency. Maclin's role continues to grow as the season goes on. Maclin will likely play a bigger part in the passing game now that Charles is gone. Maclin finished the day catching 8 out of 12 targets for 85 yards that is 6 more targets than Travis Kelce. De'Anthony Thomas was the lone receiver to get into the end zone this week hauling in 2 out of 3 targets for 24 yards and a touchdown.
Travis Kelce (Tight End): Kelce had another down week making it back to back dud weeks. Kelce really lost the lion's share of his targets to Jeremy Maclin who has been having superb games consistently. Kelce ended the day only catching 3 out of 6 targets for 35 yards.
